Safe Harbor Statement
Information included in the following slides is believed to be accurate,
but is not necessarily complete. Such information should be reviewed
in its appropriate context. The implication that historical trends will
continue in the future, or that past performance is indicative of future
results, is disclaimed. To the extent that one reading the following
material nevertheless makes such an inference, such inference would
be a forward-looking statement, and would be subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary. Such risks
include variable economic conditions, adverse portfolio performance
(resulting, for example, from increased defaults by the underlying
obligors), volatile wholesale values of collateral underlying CPS
assets, reliance on warehouse financing and on the capital markets,
fluctuating interest rates, increased competition, regulatory changes,
the risk of obligor default inherent sub-prime financing, and exposure
to litigation.
